Answer 1

A couple of things.
First, please take a few minutes to review the following:
<ul>
<li>Oracle Forums FAQ
<li>Before posting on this forum please read
<li>10 Commandments for the OTN Forums Member
<li>How to ask questions the smart way
</ul>
Following these simple guidelines will ensure you have a positive experience in any forum; not just this one! ;-)
Using the formating information in the Oracle Forms FAQ, it is always recommended that you put your code samples in the ... tags (use lower case "code") so your code is more readable.
Second, the use of all capital letters is concidered YELLING. I'm sure you did not intend to YELL at anyone, so please only use capital letters when they are needed, not for everything. :)
Third, what is your Forms Version? If you look at the *10 Commandments for the OTN Forums Member* you'll see that it is always best to give program version information. Depending on your Forms version, the subquery in your SQL statement may not be supported or it could simply be the Cursor For Loop construct [ FOR j IN ( SQL Statement)...] that is not supported. You may have to declare an explicit cursor and reference the explicit cursor in place of your SQL Statement.
Forth, your FOR LOOP doesn't do anything!
LOOPEND LOOP; There is nothing between LOOP and END LOOP. I am going to assume that this is intented and just a point of sanatizing your code because what happens in the loop is not relevant to the error.
ERROR 103.. This is a Forms internal PL/SQL error; meaning the Forms PL/SQL engine can not parse your code. Again, this is probably because the subquery or cursor FOR loop with (SQL Statement versus explicit cursor) is not supported by your Forms version.
Please, what is your Forms version and any other information that might be helpful.
